    name the movies..

    As I was off work today I thought I'd re-catalogue my DVD collection. However, I thought this might make an interesting game for you to kill a few minutes (or hours or days depending on how many movies you watch.)

    In the image below I have tiled 25 front cover snippets from some well known (and some not so well known) Movies. All you have to do is name the movies.

    There are 5 rows of 5 images. each one worth 4 points for a correct answer or 2 for a "nearly but not quite" answer (100 in total) PM me your answers and I'll post a leader board. Don't post your answers here.. I'll just update the leader board once I have a few PM's from you guys.

    Have fun

    EDIT oh yeah if you number your answers 1 to 25 reading along each row .. so that the first image in row two would be answer number 6

    you Need to ask 25???

    ok here are some clues

    15 - The power of Christ compels me to give you a clue on this one.
    17 - If you can't get this you need a day off
    25 - If we meet at a party I'll ensure I do this for you.

    Re: name the movies..

    I'm doing most of this from memory with some help from Google as most of my quite small collection doesn't have jackets having been copied from TV (because I'm mean). Only #25 left and it is driving me mad, 'cos I know I will kick myself...

    EDIT: PM sent.

    On second thoughts, can we have a rule "no clues" - it'll be far more fun to trade off answers between us and race to see who can collect 'em all first

    Ok.. Next round. Will keep the same leader board, so Just because LMC was so good if she doesn't get any of the next lot then someone could still overtake.

    and I have 800+ dvds.. plenty of rounds to come I figure

    Mark your answers GAME1 and GAME2. remember BOTH scores go towards the leaderboard scores

    Re: name the movies..

    Deduct 6 from my score please - I had the three clues, so reckon those should only count as 2 each.

    I may be competitive, but I also prefer fair play

    Previous players can resubmit their answers. And Attempt the second set as well to boost their scores. Have another couple of rounds made up.. so I'll limit it to 4 rounds.. 400 points in total But I'll load them at intervals so people don't get swamped with all 4 at once

    I'll have to think of a suitable prize for the ultimate winner (suggestions welcome!)

    Re: name the movies..

    After the weekend please - I need to "mull" some of 'em to recall (and Google occasionally for whether it's the original or which sequel )
